Abstract
Contact binaries can be used for distance determinations of stellar systems. They are easy to discover and identify and are very abundant among solar-type stars, particularly for M V >+3. The period–luminosity–colour (PLC) relations have similar properties to those for pulsating stars and can currently predict individual values of M V to about ±0.25 mag.
